Phew. Long thinking about it .... it would be wisely to "make peace" now. Yes. But if I looking at your first posting - I still feel flamed. Maybe this is unfair. But this "non programmer/coder" has coded a couple of 100.000 lines of code in different languages for different environments in his life and earned good money for that! So that can't have been SO bad. And this "average explorer" also supports the community as GoMe Translator in an active and positive way.
Do you still think, you gave the right description of this guy?
Oh, well now I think I see what happened!
Ron, you seem to have accidentally misread her post entirely!
When janaba said "I'd like to confirm this as a non programmer/coder and average explorer lol" you seem to have read that she was calling
you a non programmer/coder and average explorer, but the antecedent for "this" which is the subject here is branan's assurance, not yourself!
That is, she was saying (to paraphrase) "I can confirm that [The PhysX runtimes are fully backwards compatible], from the point of view someone like myself: a non-programmer."
She was not talking about you at all, although I can see why you perhaps thought so, now that you've explained your point of insult a bit more. An important thing to keep in mind is that in English, it would be exceptionally odd to casually refer to someone as "this". Usually "him" or "her" is exclusively used when possible, although it is common (yet technically incorrect) to use the plural-yet-gender-neutral "they". "This" can safely be assumed to be a thing, which in this case was branan's assurance of the safety of installing the update. She was simply agreeing that it caused no conflicts for her, even without the benefit of a technical background.
No worries. Uru is a very international community, and we have people who speak all languages and to varying degrees of fluency. Misunderstandings happen. In the future, it's probably best not to assume the worst, and ask for clarification instead.
Thanks for the PhysX question, this is certainly something I'm sure others have wondered too, after all the annoyances with QuickTime Myst has had.
